Mark,

I'd suggest posting this at Apple's web site in the forum area:

Hi All,
Beginner here...

I have what seems to be a simple need but I don't see an obvious way
to do this.

I have a pointer to data (NSMutableData) that I want to parse. The
data itself is map data that will come in from an SQL database over
the net.

I know the structure of the data (latitude, longitue, etc).

Hello All,
I'm looking for a developer to finish off a small but fun iPhone
project. It's only 3 or 4 screens (2 of which are already written).
There will be a little SQL & PHP work to be done
as well as some speed optimization and a tiny bit of localization.

I believe it would be 1 to 2 days work, max.

Nothing. That's the direction I'm going in right now. Using HTTP auth
protocol, but authenticating against our user database. It's just that
as I work on this something like OpenAuth pops up and I wonder if I
should be considering that.

Preston,

Are the REST services you're accessing using standard HTTP Basic authentication? If so then there really isn't any sense of "logging in" for a client (you may know this but I just wanted to confirm.)

I haven't worked with the Android HttpRequest* API, but it may be as simple as using a URI of the form [link]

Maybe I'm missing something, but what's the problem with just using HTTP
authentication on every request?

Yeah, I'm a little turned around on this right now. I talked to someone
recently who advocated, since I'm using REST, that I go with using HTTP auth
to handle authentication and then store the username / password on the
client when the client is "logged in". Then each request to the REST
services could be accompanied by the username / password and there would

Hi everyone - I wanted to share a job opening we have at Small Society for a Project Manager. I've attached the job description below.

This is a client-facing PM role with a touch of account management mixed in, so it needs to be someone who is comfortable being accountable to client demands, working with developers, has an existing love for iPhone OS, a good attitude, and is highly detail oriented.

We have had some success with powerOne as a universal app. We launched
powerOne for iPad before it shipped. Where we were languishing on the
iPhone, powerOne was (until yesterday) number 1 in the finance
category for top paid and #1 for topping grossing finance category
app. These positions have not only increased our iPad sales but also

I'd love to hear Elia weigh in on universal apps. Most developers have been against doing universal apps for paid apps, but universal seems to have worked out for PowerOne.

As a developer, I agree that it complicates things as well. As a business, split apps
and multiple pricing structures are nice. Apps on the iPad are definitely trying to hold off
the race to the bottom, but I'm afraid its just a matter of time.

Maybe an in-app purchase to upgrade to iPad support? Yearly fees? $.99 for life definitely

Thanks Seth.

I look forward to it as well.

Sad I missed the talk.

Excellent thoughts Tracy, see my comments below (skewed towards the paid app
world, my thinking would be very different for free/ad-supported)...

One other thought is on timing. While developers have had access to a beta
SDK for a few months, the actual devices have been in our hands for less

Thanks Seth, I really appreciate your voluntary recordings. I had to duck out early, so I'm looking forward to catching it on the replay.

Yes, the talk has been recorded. Hopefully I will get a chance to encode it and upload it soon.

Thanks to James and Darin for last night's talk...

A couple of things were brought up that I was thinking about on the way home...

- iPad Brightness.. Its way to bright in dark room, so does the iBooks app use a private API to lower the backlight, or does it actually darken the views? Hopefully Settings.app

Yes indeedy it was a great session! Really one of the best UI discussions I have ever gotten to experience.

So, our graphic designer couldn't be there. By any chance, did anyone video the talk?

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but more and more sites are
integrating OAuth and similar authentication systems into their APIs for
that purpose. Another standard is OpenID. Twitter and some other services
use http authentication, but someone recently told me that Twitter is
abandoning that for OAuth like this month or something.
